Amber Heard Wants to Star in "Red Sonja"

Earlier this month, producer Avi Lerner revealed that "Red Sonja" is a top priority and that director Simon West (The Mechanic, Con Air) has already been hired to helm the film.

He added that he would like Amber Heard (Drive Angry 3D) to play the lead. "We're talking to a few girls for the role of Sonja," said Lerner. "But we just finished a movie called 'Drive Angry' with Amber Heard, and I want to see her. She's my favorite for the role. Amber is the new Red Sonja... but she doesn't know it yet."

Moviefone now caught up with Heard and asked to comment. "I was surprised, but also it's something I've been looking at for a while and kind of interested in," she responded. "I'm definitely interested in being a part of it, but that's all I can kind of comment on right now."
